More From Our Wet & Rainy Day

Originally I was staying at work today for lunch. I brought my soup and hamburger/mashed potato/creamed corn mess with me when I left the house this morning. Justin called me, wondering if I could check the sump pump, and of course I said yes. So, I grabbed my containers and away I went.

I didn't take the same way home as I did this morning when I went to work, so it may have been like this earlier, but there was an enourmous amount of water in the ditches and partially covering some roads.

I'm not sure if this will tell show what I was hoping for, but my steering wheel was at such an angle just to go down the road straight. It's blowing at least 90km/h right now. It's driving me crazy at work; I sit next to a garage door, basically, and the wind is whipping and howling out, rattling the door. Driving me crazy!
Instead of working today, I'd rather be doing this:

Thankfully, the sump pump is working properly. Justin's heard many horror stories lately from guys he works with about theirs not working and flooding thier houses. We don't need that right now, so we check it frequently. Other peoples pumps work very often (we've heard about some running every five mintutes), ours has never ran, other than when we lifted the float to check to see if it's still working. I think our house is a little bit higher than others around it; this is a very nice blessing!

One of our neighbours recently leveled an area for his garage to be built. Then the ran came. I think he should be looking into building a swimming pool instead.

I planned my route back to work the same way, just so I could get a photo of the "lake" that was covering part of the roadway.

I really like to document days like this. Days that are out of the ordinary; days that make you thankful for what you have (electricity for example).
